    Same Bryce top sheet, but with a softer sponge.
    As both rubber & sponge are flexible & highly resilient, they catch & absorb the ball & catapult it back at your opponent with your own added speed & spin.
    This allows for more dwell time & better feel.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Once a high-performance rubber, Bryce FX now struggles in competition with modern advanced rubbers, receiving mixed reviews as only suitable for intermediate-level offensive players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Soft sponge suits front-court play style
    • Speed-focused but lacks control consistency
    • Now considered outdated compared to modern rubbers
    • Potentially good for intermediate-level drive-oriented players
    • Lightweight quality benefits female backhands
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveA well-balanced rubber with soft sponge for excellent midrange hitting feel. Lightweight design is recommended for female players using backhands.
    ▽ CriticalIn modern times, only Bryce enthusiasts would use this rubber. Though once high-performance, it is now simply difficult to use and cannot be recommended.

      Reviews by user

      A rubber I loved back in the speed-glue era.
      The sponge is softer than the regular Bryce, so I think it's a better balanced rubber overall.
      If you were to use it today, I think it would suit someone who mainly plays close to the table.
      Personally, hitting flat shots with this rubber feels really good.
      It's also lightweight, so it's a rubber I can recommend to female players who are good at hitting quick, flat shots on the backhand too.

      Hydrogen ion (Experience: 6〜10 years) The feel was so soft it was almost unsettling

      Reviews by user

      This was about 10 years ago now, right after organic solvents got banned - I only used it once, but back then I was using the Sriver and the EL, and to me the feel on contact was just mushy and unpleasant, and on top of that neither my serves nor my drives had any bite, so I went into a bit of a slump for a while after putting this on. It might suit a stiff blade, but on a blade that loses its flex quickly, it just didn't work for me at all. I even felt like TSP's Brio or Vyon put more spin on the ball than this.
      The ball had a really knuckly feel, and even though the initial speed was fast, by the time it reached an opponent far from the table, the speed had died down way more than usual for my swing.

      Even if I were to use something today, I think a high-bounce rubber with good grip would still be the better choice.

      Before: forehand Bryce, now forehand Tenergy 05.
      Backhand Bryce FX, backhand Tenergy 05 FX.
      This is what I had on my backhand before my current rubber. It's fairly soft and the ball sinks in easily, so it's perfect for a drive-heavy playing style. Especially good for intermediate players.

      First off, I don't think there's any reason to use this rubber in the current era unless you're a Bryce fan. Sure, it might have been high performance when Bryce first came out, but nowadays it's just an awkward rubber to use. I can't recommend it at all.

      The arc is quite flat, and with the speed and distance it gets, control is difficult.
      When it first came out, I thought it was a pretty high-performance rubber, but these days I barely find any use for it.
